Fighting Fake News with REAL, 7/9/20; Spotless Workers were truley Spotless.Sky News total filth; Dan Andrews up Front; Keating's bright spot

Victorian Premier Dan Andrews says he can no longer ignore the sheer volume and veracity of research that has been compiled by the state’s conspiracy theorists, and has consequently decided to end all lockdown restrictions immediately.

Andrews Bows To Overwhelming Weight Of Evidence From Protesters And Cancels Lockdown | The Shovel

What Sky News pundits don’t report the Workers Strike strike at Spotless (ODT)
At the Spotless Laundry in Melbourne’s southeast, employers demanded that work continue despite escalating numbers of COVID-19 cases. The workers refused to allow the company’s profit to be placed above their safety — and won.

Melbourne’s Spotless Laundry Workers Went on Strike to Stop COVID-19

If one thinks about it there were more Spotless workers on strike for Dan Andrews than there were demonstrators against but where was the frenzied media? What was missing were police on horseback strikebreakers and cameramen running everywhere reprotinthe excitement. This was deemed unnewsworthy to the likes of Sky News, Ch9 and the MSM.

On Saturday, July 25, the workers at Spotless were informed of a positive case. Instead of implementing controls to stop the virus, management insisted on keeping the site open. By Wednesday, July 29, there were two additional cases and a total of three sick workers. It was at this point that the predominantly migrant workforce took matters into their own hands, ceasing work and refusing to return until all workers had been stood down with pay, so they could be tested.
The walkout lasted two days. It was a challenge to all employers who would dare to place profitability over the health of their workforce, and an act of defiance against insecure working conditions that added to the workers’ vulnerability. After two days, Spotless backed down, conceding to the workers’ demands.

Workers at Melbourne’s Toll Warehouse Unite Against COVID-19

When managers at a major retail warehouse in Melbourne concealed information on the spread of COVID-19 among the workforce, casual and permanent workers united to walk off the job. The result was a powerful victory in the fight against unsafe conditions. 

Yet another Demonstration of Workers striking against Covid-19 and for Dan unreported in any of our MSM media.

 

What Covid Plan? Paul Keating seizes on the “good news” but Australia’s economy is changing for good – Michael West

Paul Keating was on Fran Kelly’s ABC radio show on Friday. He’d picked up a peculiar thing from the GDP release. The headline number was horrific. Australia’s economic growth had shrunk by 7%, the largest drop on record, wiping out four years of growth and sinking the nation, officially, into its first recession in 29 years. Keating seized on the bright spot though, or at least what he thought was a bright spot. Buried in the National Accounts data and apparently picked up by nobody, yet, were the figures for GDP per hour worked. It was an increase. Yes, an increase, and not a trifling increase either. Growth in GDP per hour worked was up from 0.6% – the average over four previous quarters – to 4.1%. It represents a fantastical rise in productivity – a seven-fold surge in productivity. Businesses have shed millions of workers so wage costs plummeted by 9.3% and wages are usually the highest cost in a business.

DANIEL ANDREWS CLAIMS DATA DRIVES VIRUS BANS. BUT THEY'RE WORLD'S WORST

COLUMN Daniel Andrews claims his brutal lockdown of Victoria – with police arresting even grannies on park benches – is driven by “the very best medical advice”.So why is his lockdown tougher than you'll see in any other state or country? Is Victoria's medical advice better that found anywhere else?

Amazing how Andrew Bolt blows up individuals cases to be representative of martyrs of an oppressive state that's not acting in the interests of the common good Public Health. A State in the grips of Charleton 'experts' who know less than Andrew Bolt on epidemiology and it's strategies. When it came to Ebola Bolt simply said shut the gates let others worry about it fuck the Africans.

 If there is any science in his argument it's fiction. The fact is he never mentions the greater number of incidents of peaceful but organized strikes 'for' or even inspite of Dan Andrews that have taken place around the state calling for stricter measures against Covid-19. Measures employers disregard whose only focus is on profit. 

Like Trump Bolt appears to be inciting further actions and demonstrations against Andrews while at the same time denying that's what he's doing. It's what Bolt does incite division and violence in plain sight with advice from Murdoch's legal team. The police should turn the prick who obeys all of Andrew's edicts except his mouth into a human headline. 
What does Andrew Bolt's pro-life mate think? Hard questions needed on cost of keeping all Covid patients alive, says Tony Abbott – video
Apparently left to die alone without family no matter your life's contribution makes economic sense.  I'd say we are lucky not to have Abbott as our leader.

DAN ANDREWS IS TOUGHER THAN BEREJIKLIAN AND PALASCCZUK. WHY?

COLUMN Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has guaranteed that Victoria will be shut down for another six weeks at least. In fact, it will probably be much longer. For some bizarre reason, he's set standards for reopening the economy that even NSW and Queensland would not meet. Why?

 China has had the greatest success in Covid-19 suppression But Bolt would have us believe their execution was the world's worst. Their economy has recovered and is on the rise once more. Note Bolt doesn't mention who it is we should look to as a path to take that has had greater success. Victoria's economy isn't dragging the nations down it's simply not saving it as it once was and Canberra is flustered. However, it is if one considers that its our relationship with China that keeps Canberra afloat.

 It doesn't sound as if Andrew Bolt has a grip on things not as a journalist anyway. All-State Premiers W.A, Qld, and Vic are out of step and won't be pushed by Canberra into a series of rolling yo-yo lockdowns as is currently happening in the Trumpland Republican States. Morrison like Trump is saying we have won the war which Andrews denies just battles. Bolt and Morrison seem to be on the same page"Morrison's words to Parliament last Tuesday, when he said: "Victoria has turned the corner and we, together with the Victorian Government, are planning to reopen Melbourne and reopen Victoria."

Bolt saying Andrews is going to take it past Xmas which certainly isn't the case. In the meantime workers around Victoria are doing it for themselves and forcing employers to act responsibly when they're not. Bolt makes no mention of the cavalier attitudes that have brought about strikes.

 Victorians are aware of the data and show the lockdowns while disappointing can stay and it's hands-off Bolt until we have suppressed the virus.  Accusations of Andrews's "autocracy" "fascism" and "despotic "rule is just a verbal smokescreen for the fact we realise Dan's efforts are for all of us and not like Bolt's cries which is just for some. We repetitiously hear Bolt's solution as being the most simple and it is very simple as he hasn't produced a single convincing argument where it's been executed and worked. We know lockdowns do. A single comparison might help Bolt if he'd had one to offer. 

However, any operation needs a united front and the Morrison's LNP government have already withdrawn its support in supplementing those worst affected. Everything done in execution has been open to corruption because money is rarely given directly to those that needed it.

Andrew Bolt's Blog 11/11/14, Bolt's labour no Laboured history, Bogan calling out Bogan, Our 6.66% Devil's No of troops is good enough, Julie has balls or Bolt is a C**T take your pick, +++++ Bill Heffernan warns on China deal

 

The Left’s fear of diversity and debate

Here we have Bolt thinking at it's best

 "I wonder how this country would be if the Left had to argue its positions as conservatives largely must - without the help of taxpayer funds administered by the ABC, SBS, Australia Council and universities."

The abolition of the above. 

Instead of sitting in  a first year university social science class Bolt suggests subject matter taught is purely in the hands of individual tutors and lecturers. That there is no structure to the approval of degree courses and what is taught.  Well there is and it's usually assessed  by independent evaluators outside of the course itself. Bolt's ignorance simply gets an Honours grading from me.

For lack of diversity and debate The Bolt Report is a standout and the moderation on his blog totalitarian. He leaves all comments to suck-wits

 

More Islamist terror attacks

3 examples and the use of "Islamist" to denigrate 1.4 billion people who deny that the behaviour of any of what these people represent should have Bolt in court. He truly is a ultra racist. He won't get up in a crowd of Muslims to debate this. Maybe they can join him at the opening of the Liberty Party.

 

Christianity banned at school’s Remembrance Day

What of the Muslims that were part of the Australian forces, the Buddhists, the atheists and the indigenous. Forget about them hey they were just misfits and snuck in the back door

 

Global warming blamed for the cold

"The world’s atmosphere actually hasn’t warmed for at least 16 years.  Outright Lie. 

95% of the worlds top climatologists agree NOOA and NASA agree and yes Bolt is just a man at News Corp. IPCC report 6 just makes Bolt a loon advocate.

 

A Greens plan to fill Tasmania with foreign welfare recipients

That's right Planet Pluto can be found for some it was in Shepparton not something Bolt gives much attention. It was in Bendigo as well. The economy of both towns improved with the arrival of these  once welfare citizens who have become an integral part of both communities.  The economy of Tas would be improved. 

Hold it back Bolt Hold it back it's sooooooo dangerous. 

 

The parties of spend-spend need to cut instead

The coalition knocked their own hole in the budget and are continuing to do so. Instead of investing that money they have just blown it away. Maybe they should listen to some Nobel prize winning economists. Instead of giving $20 mill to fraudsters to manage our Ebola campaign. But these are Abbott's mates and MP's that are on charges.

Ten years later, Labor is still in no rush to even understand a trade deal with China

Russian for a Monday handshake with China at any cost. Won't change their coal arrangement will it. We can make 18 bill over 10 years.. not much as we just spent $5 bill on a war in Iraq and going up. The government won't make a cent from the China deal the profits will go to foreign companies who will send the profits overseas good deal. Working for the corporations 

 

"China free trade deal could 'turn into disaster' without safeguards",

 Liberal senator Bill Heffernan says

 

Can someone please tell Paul Keating, yes, he’s a clever boy?

Well here is a non news man with little knowledge of historical fact offering an "I believe" conclusion on labour politics. Hawke was going through major family crises at the time. He and Hazel had split his daughter was a junkie and as a reformed alcoholic he wasn't in the best of shape to be the best leader he could. But Bolt being the man of history he is does his usual attempt to rewrite it. Sorry Bob was MIA on a number of occasions something that this commentator was blind to. Hawke was a populist leader Keating a brilliant treasurer. Hawke simply refuses to let go of past personal glory and Keating simply acknowledges some truths. A foreign concept and hard to grasp for Bolt.

 

Clive Palmer distances himself from bogan Senator Jacqui Lambie

When soldiers are sent to war and then told their wages are to be cut  by a 1.5% below inflation pay adjustment and supplements cut for a loss of $3,600 p.a they are justified in being pissed. When they are hamstrung and can't publicly complain it's even worse. Abbott has told them in clear terms their lives are worth $3,600 less despite the risks asked of them.

 Bolt calls Lambie a bogan what does that make him less far less than a bogan. He wasn't silent on Gough's memorial day or his burial. He was quite happy to play politics then though it was tempered by News Corp editors. Again what does that make him other than a low life. Jackie Lambie was a member of the Aus  army and is a member for Tas in one breathe Bolt has declared all her supporters and those she supports and agree with her bogans. Aus diggers can go to war and die they can be treated by the economic rationalists of this country as cannon fodder  bogans and disposables but anyone who stands up on their behalf and in particular a woman is declared bogan.

 

Into Iraq again

 "Australian special forces are going into Iraq on an “advise and assist mission” in the field."

Yes that's what we have heard again and again for the past 3 months. We've heard it's the Iraqi fault for the delay. So Team Iraq is not us and a blaming game appropriate. That blaming game was little more than a distortion of reality. The Iraqi parliament was not unanimous regard us being there in the first place. A Sunni MP clearly said we weren't to be trusted given history. The Shiia Militia wan nothing to do with the Iraqi army let alone fight side by side with them. They want weapons and not training. The Australians are going to supply and train an army who a few months back gave their weapons to ISIL and tried to run. Those that didn't run joined them. Abadi has only now made a public statement saying 'advise and assist' was ok. Do we really believe we are there for Iraq or for the US of A? If they have increased their force to 3000 are we only going to offer 200 troops 6.66% the devils number?

 

Julie Bishop denounced on ABC for wanting to be judged as an individual

Bright as a button is Bolt gender has no place when treated as  free and equal individuals. Women should be allowed to do all the physical activities that have ever been done by men. Even if it means the possibility of death. It's called 'free choice'.  Fact we don't live in a world anywhere like that. We socially construct choice. I know the cost of raising women's wages to be equal with men would raise an out cry from Bolt as loud as the cost of renewables. So what about dropping men's wages to that of women? We'd save heaps.

Again it's planet Pluto race gender age wealth has no place there and we would all agree. However this isn't planet Pluto and race does play a central issue in the lives of the indigenous through no fault of their own. Abbott applied the ironing board rule to women. Bolt the 'go away' rule to Muslims.So where is the line of equality to be drawn. Maybe what Abbott and Brandis have just done is fair we all need to be treated like Muslims. After all the new national security laws have been drawn up using that as the base line. If we want to turn our world into planet Pluto shouldn't everyone be made equal? Children want to be adults. Adults want to be children. 

No I know let's apply  Bolt's rules for heaven or hell on earth?
